GFM’s Beltway Connection

It was a big day in Washington, D.C., for GroundFloor Media’s very own Wendy Artman and the Artman family as Wendy’s husband, Carl Artman, was sworn in as the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs on April 18. Although he was supposed to be the focus of the day, the Artman rabble rousers (otherwise known as Wendy and Carl’s children) stole the show as they posed for cameras and entertained a large crowd of Tribal leaders and government employees by jumping off the stage and doing their best impressions of Superman!!

Their Dad gave a motivating speech on his goals for Indian country in the coming years – fighting meth problems on reservations, providing better educations for Indian children, and relieving the bottleneck processes that plague the Bureau of Indian Affairs. But somehow, that speech managed to put the boys to sleep. This made Wendy very happy since both refused to stop moving or talking during the formal event.

Congratulations, Carl! And a big thanks and congratulations to Wendy, who just celebrated her third anniversary at GroundFloor Media!
